485. Liang Guo messenger is coming(1/3)
[From now on in this book, "Fanzhou" will be used to refer to "Guangzhou"]
After hearing what King Zhenze said, Shao Sikou, who was about to open his mouth, immediately closed his mouth.
On the other side, Liu Xun sat with his arms crossed, lowered his head and waited silently without saying a word.
As soon as King Zhenze slapped Liu Wencai, he turned around and said to Zhu Xiuyuan: "Zhu Xiuyuan, please stop dragging your feet and serve the food quickly. If it turns out to be a new dish that I have never seen before, then I will
Take back what you just said!"
King Zhenze's move caused the other two princes to shake their heads.
When Zhu Xiuyuan saw this, he smiled, clapped his hands, and ordered the servant waiting at the side: "Serve!"
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of little maids were seen filing in, carrying a food box.
As the first new dish was placed on the table, everyone immediately stared at it.
"Hmm...what kind of dish is this?"
“It seems like I’ve never seen it before!”
"Okay, kid, I take back what I just said. I have never seen this first dish before." King Zhenze said with a stern expression.
"This dish...is really strange. I've never seen it before, but I just don't know what it tastes like." Liu Wencai poked his head over and observed it carefully.
Snapped!
The murmuring King Zhenze became dissatisfied after hearing what his own son said. He threw his hands away and slapped Liu Wencai on the back of the head.
"I and your two uncles haven't tasted it yet, and you want to eat it? Get out of here!" King Zhenze stared angrily.
He was clearly venting.
But the person he vented to was his own son, which was quite interesting.
Liu Wencai was very hurt, but the rest of the people did not sympathize with him, and instead caused a burst of laughter.
As one dish after another was served, everyone could no longer laugh.
Every dish on this table is truly something I have never seen before!
The key...the aroma of the vegetables is very strong and arouses appetite!
In fact, if so many new dishes were suddenly served during normal times, everyone might not be so surprised.
If they are either princes, princes, or high-ranking officials, they will not focus on any particular dish.
However, Zhu Xiuyuan had aroused everyone's curiosity in advance, repeatedly emphasizing that this was a new type of dish. He also said that "you have never seen it before".
In this way, everyone's attention was completely directed to this dish!
On the other side, in the front hall.
Dong Cheng also did this, which aroused the customers' curiosity about the new dishes.
After a long time, when the large round table could hardly be placed, Zhu Xiuyuan finally smiled and said: "Princes, princes, and lords, the dishes have been served. Please don't be polite and have a taste. How does this new dish taste?"
"Hmm...yes, this dish has a unique taste and is very suitable to my taste..."
"It's delicious, it's delicious. Uncle Zhu, the cook in your house is much better than the one in this prince's house!"
…
All the guests praised it while eating.
Because they focused on the dishes, they naturally tasted them more carefully.
After tasting it, I found it was really delicious.
It was a taste that I had never tasted before.
After the dinner and dinner were over, it was almost time to congratulate Xiu Yuan, so he revealed that the uncle's house was about to open a restaurant——
This new style of cuisine, as well as the two fine wines, will be sold in the new restaurant...
All the customers are also knowledgeable people, and they all say that when the restaurant opens, they will definitely come to support it!
Zhu Xiuyuan finally smiled after seeing this.
He has been busy for most of the day, just for this moment, and he succeeded!
When the banquet was over, all the guests drank enough wine and were basically drunk.
But they were still drinking, one cup after another, and while drinking, they were blushing and arguing about trivial matters...
Zhu Xiuyuan sat in the flower hall with the guests, and was secretly frightened when he saw it.
They are rushing to get completely drunk and go away!
But the visitors were guests, and he couldn't dissuade them, so he could only let them drink heavily.
Zhu Xiuyuan prayed secretly, but be sure not to cause any problems with drinking.
After a while, another servant suddenly came to report. This time, it was Eunuch Zhang from the palace.
Eunuch Zhang came here mostly to convey Emperor Chen's oral instructions, and mostly because Emperor Chen summoned him to the palace to attend a banquet and enjoy dancing.
So Zhu Xiuyuan said goodbye and rushed to the door of the house to see Eunuch Zhang.
"Eunuch Zhang, have you been summoned by your majesty?" Zhu Xiuyuan came out of the mansion and asked with his hands raised. He was already familiar with Eunuch Zhang, and he even skipped polite words.
"Uncle, our visit this time is to convey His Majesty's instructions, but it is not to summon uncle to the palace." Eunuch Zhang shook his fly whisk and smiled on his face.
"Oh, why is that?" Zhu Xiuyuan was slightly confused.
"Uncle, it's about the envoy from the Liang Kingdom! Your Majesty has specially ordered our family to come in person to remind the uncle."
"Please give me some advice, father-in-law."
"My uncle is too polite, but I don't dare to take my advice seriously. Uncle, the envoy from the Liang Kingdom came along the river by boat and will arrive at the dock outside the capital tomorrow. My uncle has the heavy responsibility of receiving the envoy from the Liang Kingdom and must make preparations if necessary.
Already."
"So this is what happened..." Zhu Xiuyuan frowned.
This envoy from the Liang Kingdom must have arrived too early.
The envoy from the State of Liang went to the State of Chen to watch the martial arts competitions take place nearby.
But it was too early. The martial arts competition was held around the Lantern Festival, and it was only the second day of the first lunar month, with more than ten days in between.
"Uncle, we have good news here." Eunuch Zhang suddenly said with a smile.
"Oh, may I ask father-in-law, what is the good news?"
"The envoy from the Liang Kingdom is the King Qian of the Liang Kingdom and Princess Anle of the Liang Kingdom! Our family heard that my uncle has a good relationship with the King Qian of the Liang Kingdom, so the important task of receiving the envoy from the Liang Kingdom will be much easier!
"Eunuch Zhang said with a smile.
"It turns out to be King Qian and Princess Anle!" Zhu Xiuyuan was surprised.
He really didn't expect that it would be the two brothers and sisters here again.
I remember that the last time I said goodbye to King Qian and Princess Anle of Liang was in Jiangzhou!
At that time, Dong Shuzhen cried and said that she could no longer see her senior sister.
Her senior sister is Princess Anle.
Zhu Xiuyuan advised that he would see them again soon...
But I didn't expect that a few months later, I would actually see the two brothers and sisters again.
It's just that in the past few months, earth-shaking changes have taken place...if you think about it carefully, it really feels like a lifetime ago.
Eunuch Zhang soon returned to the palace to resume his duties, and Zhu Xiuyuan also returned.
However, he did not go to the flower hall to accompany the guests. Instead, he went to the back hall of the main house and sent people to invite Dong Cheng, Dong Shuyu, and Dong Shuzhen.
After a while, everyone gathered together.
Dong Cheng and Dong Shuyu both sat down, while Dong Shuzhen lay down behind his chair.
"My dear son-in-law, why did you call us all here?" Dong Cheng asked.
"There is indeed a big event. The envoys from the Liang Kingdom will arrive tomorrow. My son-in-law will be responsible for receiving them."
"Hmm... Liang Guo's envoy, so fast?"
"Yes, the news from the palace is definitely not false. However... the envoys from the Liang State who are on a mission to our Chen State this time are King Qian and Princess Anle of the Liang State!" Zhu Xiuyuan said with a smile.
"Wow, are they Senior Sister and the others?" Dong Shuzhen was surprised behind his ears.
"Well, it is indeed them. It would be much more convenient if they are the envoys this time."
"Finally I can see my senior sister again!" Dong Shuzhen was behind his chair, jumping up and down with joy.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Dong Cheng snorted coldly and stared at her like sharp swords.
Dong Shuzhen immediately collapsed, her knees bent, and her whole body hid behind Zhu Xiuyuan's chair.
"My dear son-in-law, it is important to receive the envoy from the Liang Kingdom. You can make arrangements now. Leave the reception of the guests in the house to me!" Dong Cheng said.
